The Cincinnati Bengals got wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase and quarterback Joe Burrow back as they beat the Baltimore Ravens 32-14.
Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase led the way for the Cincinnati Bengals Thursday night as they hung 32 points on the Baltimore Ravens in their victory. Burrow threw for over 250 yards and Chase cleared the century mark in receiving yards.
While Chase didn’t find the endzone he did have 110 receiving yards on seven receptions. Burrow threw two touchdown passes, one to Andrei Iosivas and another to Tanner Hudson, and running back Chase Brown matched Chase with seven catches.
The Bengals season is circling the drain but with Burrow back under center this offense is among the best in the league and their playmakers such as Chase and Brown, along with Tee Higgins when healthy, should be started in fantasy lineups with confidence.

Joe Burrow was not activated from the injured reserve (IR) by the 4 pm deadline Saturday to rejoin the roster
Joe Burrow went through an entire week of practice for the Cincinnati Bengals this week. The organization declined to activate him from the injured reserve before the 4 pm window closed. All indications at practice were that he looked great after his return from surgery on a Grade 3 turf toe injury two months ago. Joe Flacco (shoulder) has rested throughout the week and will resume starting duties on Sunday.
Burrow returned to practice in rapid time, as the injury was supposed to keep him out until at least mid-December. He’ll have to wait another week. Prior to practicing, the team had already circled the Week 13 Thanksgiving Day game against Baltimore as his likely return. It’s feasible that the team might want to hold him out against a rough New England front that is currently third in the NFL in sacks. Additionally, should the QB be sore after his initial return, the short turnaround to Thursday would mean a regression if he were unable to play.
For his part, Flacco has a 96.3 rating while passing for 1,453 yards with 12 touchdowns and three picks in just five games. He’ll lead the squad (minus Ja’Marr Chase) against MVP candidate Drake Maye and the 9-2 New England Patriots.
Fantasy lowdown: Not much change to the personnel, except for Chase (suspended). Fantasy managers can expect an extra bump to Tee Higgins, a full game of usage for Andre (Yoshi) Iosivas, and likely some additional looks to tight end Mike Gesicki returning from injury. Flacco can only be counted on as a mid-range QB2 at best on Sunday.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has practiced with the starting offense two days in a row, preparing for New England.
Some big news today out of Cincinnati as the Bengals’ star quarterback, Joe Burrow, has practiced for the second day in a row with the starting offense in preparation for their Week 12 clash with the New England Patriots.
The Bengals have lost three straight games and will be without their top receiver, Ja’Marr Chase as he serves a one game suspension for spitting on Jalen Ramsey. Burrow can certainly add a boost to the offense as they will try to go on a run to make playoffs. His return could be well timed as veteran backup Joe Flacco has missed practices this week.

Per Adam Schefter
Joe Burrow may be back sooner than later with surprise news of his 21-day practice window opening.
This is glorious news for fantasy managers and Bengals fans alike. Joe Burrow’s 21-day window to return to play has opened. Burrow suffered a Grade 3 turf toe injury at the beginning of the season.
With Joe Flacco at the helm, fantasy gamers have held steady, but Burrow returning is going to be well received. Flacco has been the bridge for Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins managers. Burrow has mentioned Thanksgiving as a time frame for return. Dynasty managers and IR spots are about to get plenty of relief with Joe Burrow returning.

Joe Burrow expected to miss at least 3 months after successful toe surgery.
The Cincinnati Bengals find themselves in familiar territory as Burrow is set to miss extended time after toe surgery. With Burrow out the Bengals will turn to Jake Browning, someone also in familiar territory after Burrow went down at the end of the 2023 season.
Browning, who’s been with the Bengals the last three seasons, has proven he can get it done at the NFL level when he took over the helm the last time Burrow was out. In 2023 Browning finished as a top 10 QB 5 of his 7 starts throwing for over 300 yards in three of those games. The offense shouldn’t see much of a dip in their production and given how poorly their defense is Browning will have plenty of opportunities to provide fantasy relevance.
Tee Higgins becomes a target in trades as some of your leagues mates may start to panic and try to unload due to the Burrow injury and you should take advantage of that before its too late!
